I've just managed to squeeze one last video in before the end of the year. In this one I'm taking a look at 8ban AKA eightban AKA Triple Inchophone.


UPDATE - Good news everyone (deliberate Futurama quote) - I've added a section to the video where the record is played on a normal (ish) record player. 

After I saw that the majority of the comments were relating to potential ways to play these records on better equipment I decided to revisit this section. I also fixed a couple of sound problems, reworded a few sections, and altered the fades on the music montage. So now thanks again to your invaluable input the video is better than it originally was. This new edit will be going public in a couple of hours.

I've lived in Japan for four years, regularly go to record shops, used hardware stores and the like - have never seen this before! Awesome! Also, my boyfriend and I are huge fans and if you ever need some Japanese translated he's a native speaker and would be happy to help!

Thanks for the offer of the translation. Usually auto translate is sufficient, my main problem is when the original description of an item for sale says next to nothing...the equivalent of “old thing, turns on, untested, may be broken, or may not”.

You must not have a 3D printer, or you would have simply modeled and printed up a spacer to use the records on a normal turntable. Which brings up the question: how can a handy, techy guy like you not own a 3D printer?

At the risk of upsetting everyone - I don’t like them. It’s not something I’m interested in, I think they are overhyped. The number of times people tell me that I should ‘just use a 3D printer’ like it’s a magic wand. When I’ve looked into it, they haven’t been appropriate for anything - take the centre cog on the DD Walkman, hundreds of people told me that “well they could just replace it with a 3D printed cog” - never once thinking that the chap who had worked for *years* trying to make a solution for the broken cog hadn’t considered it. It couldn’t make the part required, strong enough, small enough, thin enough and accurately enough. Now as far as my record spacer goes - I literally needed to show the thing for 5 seconds in a video. It took me 5 seconds to shoot. If I’d got a 3D printer to make up a suitably sized part it would have taken me a lot longer - it would have added a full day to the video shoot - all just to show something on screen for 5 seconds. Nope - 3D printers are not for me - I’m glad that other people are happy with them, and they find something worthwhile to do with them...but I’ve got a motorbike that sits unused for 350+ days of the year, and that’s fun...I know a 3D printer would be less fun and be used less often.
